One destination in Mexico is incredibly popular with tourists but unfortunately has a reputation for being one of the least safe cities in the country to visit.

While officials have reiterated that most parts of Mexico can be accessed safely, why have people been going to areas cautioned against by the United States? Is traveling to Mexico safe?

And in spite of the extended travel warning, tourists are still as safe as they were before in select parts of Mexico, as long as they take the proper precautions ahead of time and during their trip.
